Reckon those cheeks are just full of good old pizza really and nothing to do with the meds at all. And coffee, too. What a day!
So glad you've had a lovely day with Lawson and that things are continuing on the upward trend.
All our love

So lovely to hear from you Rachel. Glad you enjoyed your date with the dashing Lawson. He knows what a girl wants with the Dominoes! Your pic looks great no one would know what you have been through. Will you keep your hair long or go back to your fringe? I say a complete makeover is in order when you are up to it. Go the guts - waxing, mani, pedi, eyelash extentions, and collagen implants. Of course you may just want to chill after so many people poking and prodding you. Take is easy and look after your darling little self. Love to Lawson and your family.

Thanks so much for your last couple of updates. Continue to pray daily for Rachel who is so near the finishing line. So glad her spirits are up again and that she has regained her appetite. Thinking of her today and hoping the procedure is not too bad. Rachel has overcome the mountains in her path and know she will navigate the small hills that remain. She has the love and prayers of so many. God Bless you all xxxx

So good to hear things are a little better. God is hearing and answering our prayers-but not quite as quickly or in the way that we'd like! Praying that the endoscopy will be OK, and hope you can drink a lovely cappaccino with a chocolate heart traced in the froth!

Oh little love pie, you poor old beano, im so sorry to hear of your tummy ache, that really is rotten news, but equally SO PLEASED that it is nothing serious. It must be very difficult having these ups and downs Rachel and my thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you, just keep remembering that the downs and the lows are becoming fewer and farther in between now. You have come through so much and have made such humongous strides over the last few months, you are a superwoman. It is rubbish that you are having a little set back, but i have every confidence that you will jump 100's of metres forward again after your little tip toe backwards. You are the most positive, strong, caring, supportive and wonderful person Rach and I am so very proud of each and every achievement you make. Keep circulating those positive thoughts around your head as much as you possibly can, they and your beautiful smiles, will radiate out of you and heal any part of you which is struggling. Your will and strength and incredibleness is no match for any bug, ulcer or drug issue.....just keep reminding them so with that knock out smile of yours. I love you always and cannot wait to see you when you are up for it. Love you lots and lots

Hi Rach, you have come so far so please don't worry to much about this small set back. I'm sure it is a difficult balance that doctors have on their hands with the meds yu are taking. I really hope you can begin to keep food down so you can gain the weight back which will help you out a lot. I'm praying for yu Rach and please keep the faith and all the good work y are doing. Lots of love, Lori from Hood River, OR. MVR January 2010

Hi Rach, Sorry for the set back, but you will over come this to. You are such an inspiration to everyone and your family too. God wants to make sure you are ready for the outside world so that you wont get sick and be back in the hospital again and you, Lawson and family can have a real holiday. Hang in there, you have come such a long way. You and family are still in my prayers.
Hugs to all.
